Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Chapter 18 explains how faith can act as a force for good, for peace, and for success. Mylett openly shares his beliefs as a Christian, without preaching or pressuring his readers into accepting Christianity as the only way to spiritual fulfillment and truth. Mylett writes that “prayer is the manifestation of faith” (224). If faith is your thought, then prayer is your action. People need a personal relationship with both faith and prayer.
Mylett quotes many passages from the Bible, described as his favorite book (227). Faith and prayer have given Mylett confidence every time he attempts to sell something, speaks in from of people, or meets with strangers. Mylett believes that there “is a direct correlation between the wealth [he’s] achieved, the business relationships and friendships [he’s] been blessed with, and most importantly, the ongoing and blissful family life [he] enjoy[s]” (228). He admits that he can’t explain why he concludes this fact but that his life can give witness to what faith and prayer have done for him.
People are either faith based, “energy-based” (229), or science based, but Mylett doesn’t think that any of these belief systems compete in themselves. He believes in faith, energy, and science as part of the universe God created.
